2dayz

Today was a quite of a roller coaster kinda day. The kinda day where nothing quite goes right for you...well at least the end of the day was better. (Sorree, any of you if I was a bit snappish today :P.) I finally did the thing I was longing to do for ages and ages and felt totally better afterwards. I wish I had gotten the nerve to do it earlier. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, never mind...just be glad.

I'm believing again, because You've proved Yourself faithful...I can't break my promise to You. When the goings are rough and I'm afraid, I'll remember the times You were there - the times you hugged me and held me close and wiped every tear away.

...and I'll remember You're still carrying me.

My sis is not going to like this but...
I watched her grow up since she was a baby. I remember her trying to learn to walk. She kept falling over and I kept wondering why she was so clumsy :P. We were the closest playmates. We use to dump out our whole basket of toys and sit in the basket, playing imaginary games. We flew to America. I remember worrying about her on the plane, little five-year-old I was. We fought often, even about little things like scissors, but they just added to being sisters. I kissed her in the middle of the night while she was sleeping. (Haha, Hazel, I never told you since you never liked to be kissed.) When she ate nasal spray and she went to the hospital, I prayed for her. I planned a surprise birthday party for her and fought w/ her on the morn before the party. She said she only "liked me" not "loved me", but I always knew better. She missed me if I went out and wrote me notes. We told sister secrets. She always wanted to bunk in w/ me for the night. She annoyed, exasperated me, and drove me up the walls, but we laughed over her antics. I worried about how she took all the changes happening. I worried when she failed. I scolded, she tattled. It's called being sisters. Only sisters share the craziest but most precious memories. I know I get mad. I know I am often stressed. I know I often fail as a sister, and I wish I didn't. But for each scolding I give you, just take it that you're close enough to me that I know you won't take it wrongly. I can't scold a lot of people you know w/o being afraid they'll take it the wrong way. And for each scolding I give you, I'll remember that it hurts and it doesn't say...I love you.

busy's the word

Phew! I actually managed to get through this week. Every night I am SO tired and I fall asleep in 10 mins. Then the next morn I'm up again - w/ heavy eyebrows. Wednesday was absolutely crazy. I was up at 6. School till 3. We went down to Klang after and stayed there till 9:30 having a meeting. By the time I got home, it was 11. I was falling asleep on the way back and I went crazy :P. It has just been so hetic, but nothing exciting happened! If things were exciting, I wouldn't mind it being busy.....:).

This weekend I put up my feet and relaxed! I need the break. I can be absolutely crazy. I worked on the hour car ride down to Klang :) and all my friends tried to take my book. Okie dokies I'm a bit weird, but I have to be a good girl and finish my work, right? Or maybe it would be better that I was a bad girl :P?

I had a long girly-girl talk w/ my friend from Maine...it was so fun. I <3 talking to her (them). We teased and laughed and played around, spoke in Malay, and what-not...I bet I sounded more American. I always do when I talk to an American.

Oh and thank goodness nobody made me eat Bak Kuh Teh in Klang. Maybe I shouldn't be giving anybody any ideas :P. Well, Bak Kuh Teh is better than some Chinese veggies but it's not my favorite - at least it's edible. Oh and don't think you can trick me w/ durian, that is okay - better than Bak Kuh Teh and nangka (jackfruit) is my favorite. Hmm, what other food is there that "Americans" don't eat? Hey, Americans won't eat fish head curry, and I love it especially from H & H. I did taste something new in Klang. Now, I have a craving and I don't know where to get it, nor how to order it....bubble tea. It's REALLY good.

Life isn't fair

Oh how I wish it was! It would make things so much easier, but I guess it has been something so drilled in me that I have to accept it. When I was little, I always liked to say, "That's not fair. How come so-and-so..." It's like the century old saying, and what all parents say back is, "Who ever said life was fair?" I remember one time my sis and I were fighting, and all I remember is that it had something to do w/ scissors. I wonder why now. And I remember my dad telling me that - for the hundredth time, and I think I finally got it on the hundredth time.
Someone said that to me today, and my only answer was "I know." But now that I've thought it out, life isn't fair, but if life was fair, there would be no problems. And if there were no problems, I would never be challenged. I would never grow. And because of life's unfairness, God teaches me and blesses me in new ways I'll never imagine. I have proof. If you want to know, ask me the next time you see me. God works things out for the good of those who love Him.

Thanks Daddy!

You know Chicken Soup for the soul? Well, Chicken soup books are like my favorite! If you got any, may I please borrow it?

My Father

When I was: Four years old: My daddy can do anything.

When I was: Five years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.

When I was: Six years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.

When I was: Eight years old: My dad doesn’t know exactly everything.

When I was: 10 years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.

When I was: 12 years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn’t know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.

When I was: 14 years old: Don’t pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned.

When I was: 21 years old: Him? My Lord, he’s hopelessly out of date.

When I was: 25 years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.

When I was: 30 years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he’s had a lot of experience.

When I was: 35 years old: I’m not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.

When I was: 40 years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.

When I was: 50 years old: I’d give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn’t appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

By: Ann Landers

All I pray is that I realize what you are to me long before I turn 35. I respect you a lot. Thanks for always being there through laughter and tears. Love you!

Happy Bday, Elisa!

Wow, this is the month for birthdays! Somebody very friendly, very cheerful, very kind...Somebody who I've known for too long that I know all her goods and bads......

Happy Birthday, Elisa!
Love you!

To Katrina

Oops! I forgot to wish somebody a Happy Birthday. For June 9th,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATRINA!

Have an awesome day - oops - hope you had an awesome day! I am so glad to know you. Keep in touch always. Thanks for putting up w/ me whenever I needed to talk! Love ya!

To Alyssa

Well, I want to say,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALYSSA!

I know she won't like it that I put her on my blog, but I didn't like it either when somebody put it on her blog when it was my birthday. After all, it's her BIRTHDAY! I have to say Happy Birthday. She's really the best. One of the most awesome friends I ever had. She was always the quiet type, but she could always make you laugh. And even though she is quiet, she's steady, and you were always there when I needed it - even if I was halfway around the world.

Friends

I sometimes wonder what a friend is. Have you ever gotten that stupid forward about what a best friend is and what just a friend is? Really, I feel like giving the person who wrote it a piece of my mind. This was one part:

Friend: never asks for anything to eat or drink
Best friend: opens the fridge and makes herself at home

For crying out loud, I have many close friends, but if any of them just walked in and helped themselves to anything out of the fridge, I would probably stare at them and think they're terribly impolite. So coming back to the point, what is a friend? Somebody who is just an acquaintance?

...someone who've you've hanged out w/, someone who you've spent time w/, someone who was there...

I have no best friend, I just have many close friends who are all the best. I haven't seen two awesome friends in four years, and I haven't seen my "Mainer" friends in two years, and I see my Malaysian friends every day of my life (or almost always, not weekends, thank goodness! I need a break from them! Just Kidding) I have friends in I don't know how many places in the world, and I've learned one thing - Never underestimate friendship. The only thing I wish is that I realized how much my friends meant to me in Maine. You guys, if I never said "Thanks", you guys rock! K, not to leave anybody out, Malaysians are cool too, I mean it. (I didn't know you had such a sense of humor. Hehe :P. I use to think all Malaysians were serious people. No joke, but I've changed my mind now.)

Sunday, June 10, 2007

W/o stealing, begging (or maybe I did), or borrowing, I got these old pics of when we were kiddies...

...my beautiful Maine...that was what I got to see out of my front window. BTW, we are not that fat! You have to bundle up in few layers to keep out the cold.

This was in 4th grade! 10!

I know, I know, I've changed A LOT (hopefully for the better!)

God, my mommy and daddy, my sis (even IF she drives me up the walls ALL the time!), my friends (ALL over the world. You guys rock!), my schoolwork (I know I know tha'ts weird, but wouldn't it be really boring w/o school? There would be nothing to do.)

I WISH I COULD:

RANDOM FACTS:
I'm not scared of roaches. I walked halfway around the zoo barefoot. And since my sis is the cause of this, I have to force my sis to talk in public and tell her to be quiet at home.

nothing on

haha, I actually stuck to this for more than one day. If this actually lasts a month, I will be pretty amazed myself. :P I've got nothing to say...I REALLY want school to start again!!! I know I am being weird, but it's so boring. My sis says I'm being boring.............
hmm, well Hazel was laughing like nuts and going hyper at the tiniest thing today. Just because of what somebody said on MSN!!! And about something I said like two months ago!!! Shows how boring it is around here.

Thursday, June 7, 2007

....well...

This is cause I am terribly bored. I only do this sort of thing when I am TOTALLY TOTALLY bored. This is like the most boring vacation of my life. I've actually worked until I made my sis feel guilty :P and my mom had to remind me it's vaca :). I have NOT worked myself half to death, ok? I have been taking it a bit easy...I am looking forward to school cause it won't be so boring, but I am NOT looking forward to having to work hard. I know - I am being totally boring. Sorry!
I will be really surprised if this blog actually lasts for more than a month...I've done like3 blogs now and deleted them a few days later, but I will really try to stick to this a bit, but I am not the most free person in the world........................
